While exercise plays an important role in building a strong, healthy heart, the food you eat matters too. Your diet can directly influence cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and inflammation.
That doesn't mean you have to begin eating perfectly or cutting out the foods you enjoy. It's more about finding a balance that works for you. Frustratingly, with the cost of living continuing to rise, making healthier choices can feel harder when better quality produce often comes with a higher price tag.
